tsilney Posted December 7, 2014 Report Posted December 7, 2014 Anyone put bonni gxp rims on a vert? If so any pictures..was looking for some 18s for the vert and I like the gxps and the 077s which I cannot find. Just not sure of the offset..I have bonni gxps on the gtp and didnt get a chance to try them.on the vert before winter and both the rims and the vert were packed away. Quote
Psych0matt Posted December 8, 2014 Report Posted December 8, 2014 These aren't Bonne GXP wheels, they're Alessio F1s which look very close. I had them bored out to fit, and they were 19s, but it should give you the idea Quote
tsilney Posted December 8, 2014 Author Report Posted December 8, 2014 Looks awesome! Thanks..mines white as well! Quote
tsilney Posted December 28, 2014 Author Report Posted December 28, 2014 Got these for the cutlass. they were a great deal deal and ouldnt pass them up...but they came with 235/50 18s with less than 500miles on them..little taller than what I want but will they be ok on a stock height vert? Quote
Nas Escobar Posted December 28, 2014 Report Posted December 28, 2014 Post a full pic of em... But 50 tires won't be an issue. For every + size you're supposed to subtract 5 from the sidewall so no prob. The overall diameter might he off by a bit tho Quote
94 olds vert Posted December 28, 2014 Report Posted December 28, 2014 Matt your old vert looked so clean. Quote

Get a full pic, but they should be fine, probably look great. Not a fan of the rivets, but I think it'll be fine Matt your old vert looked so clean. Thanks man, I miss it. Needed some work, but was pretty clean Quote
tsilney Posted December 29, 2014 Author Report Posted December 29, 2014 Havent picked them up yet. Get them tuesday. Ill take more pics when I get them. Ya im not a fan of the rivits either but wanted that gxp look and these were cheaper than gxp rims with tires so had to get them. They are chrome under the dip so will be taking the dip off as well.

George Posted December 29, 2014 Report Posted December 29, 2014 235/50-18 = 27.25 x 9.25 About 3/4" taller than stock. Quote
tsilney Posted December 29, 2014 Author Report Posted December 29, 2014 Ya figured they were taller. Probablly Gonna sell those tires and get some 245/45 s..dont want 4x4 status Quote
tsilney Posted December 30, 2014 Author Report Posted December 30, 2014 Rolled her outta the garage just for a quick look. The 20degree weather did not allow me to put them on. Lol..have to wait till spring Quote
Psych0matt Posted December 31, 2014 Report Posted December 31, 2014 If those are gunmetal then that looks hot! I don't much care for a black top on a white car, but I think those wheels will tie it together nicely! I blacked mine out with niteshades, but on cars since I've used the rustoleum tint or plasti dip Quote
Nas Escobar Posted December 31, 2014 Report Posted December 31, 2014 Not bad at all.. They sell tint film that you cut up and apply for your taillights. It's easier than VHT or any other spray on options, plus if you get harassed by the popo, you can peel it off. You also get a glossy look from it. Quote
tsilney Posted January 1, 2015 Author Report Posted January 1, 2015 So had to brave the 10 degree weather to see how one looked..and of course the offset is slightly off. I need a quarter inch spacer or less to clear those stupid baby calipers ...Wish there was a brake upgrade but oh well. Im not a fan of the black top either thats why I only really drive it when the tops down Quote
Nas Escobar Posted January 1, 2015 Report Posted January 1, 2015 Does the front one tuck in nicely? It looks as if it would stick out some. Quote
Psych0matt Posted January 1, 2015 Report Posted January 1, 2015 You could try to grind off a little of the caliper, but in the past I've always just ran thin spacer plates, never had an issue Quote
tsilney Posted January 1, 2015 Author Report Posted January 1, 2015 It was hard to tell if it would stick.out. I never lowered it off jack. Gonna try a rear one today to see how it looks. I was thinking of grinding the caliper bracket as well but I think a 5mm spacer will be fine and not noticeable Quote
Psych0matt Posted January 1, 2015 Report Posted January 1, 2015 It was hard to tell if it would stick.out. I never lowered it off jack. Gonna try a rear one today to see how it looks. I was thinking of grinding the caliper bracket as well but I think a 5mm spacer will be fine and not noticeable I ran them even on the stock wheels just because why not. I think mine are like 5/16" or something like that. Small, but just enough to clear the caliper. My issue now is that I have one replaced stud on the front that I cant get the lugnut on because it's shorter Quote
tsilney Posted January 1, 2015 Author Report Posted January 1, 2015 (edited) Put one rear one on. Looks pretty good and they tuck in nice. the taller tires dont look to bad. The spacers should be perfect. Just ordered them...ugh cant wait till spring..and she needs a wash Edited January 1, 2015 by tsilney Quote
Nas Escobar Posted January 1, 2015 Report Posted January 1, 2015 Actually, the big tire fills the wheel well perfectly. At least IMO Quote
Psych0matt Posted January 1, 2015 Report Posted January 1, 2015 I think that looks great!!! Some tint and you'll be golden! Well, aside from a white top Quote
tsilney Posted January 1, 2015 Author Report Posted January 1, 2015 Agreed I think it looks sweet. Ordered the spacers. Tint is this summer along with lots of things to fix. Rust in the rear quarters, rubber seals replaced, leaking a little antifreeze, and some other stuff but the rims cost half of what I got the car for so.not complaining . And.I have a spare l67 and 4t65 hd trans that will end up in her in the next 2 years. Quote
George Posted January 2, 2015 Report Posted January 2, 2015 but the rims cost half of what I got the car for so.not complaining . WOW, 2 Grand for wheels, seems like a lot. Lol. You must have got the car cheep. They do look good on there. Quote
tsilney Posted January 2, 2015 Author Report Posted January 2, 2015 WOW, 2 Grand for wheels, seems like a lot. Lol. You must have got the car cheep.They do look good on there.
